I graduated from college in December of 1970, and was teaching school in a small town. At the time, I was driving a '55 Ford that my father used for his "jeep" at the deer lease. It could go places a jeep couldn't go! One morning, about a block from school, the front right wheel fell off (another story - I forgot to tighten up the lug nuts). Needless to say, every one of the students saw it sitting there blocking traffic (Wrecker came, jacked it up, put the wheel back on and it was just fine! Try that today!)

That was the final straw! I began the serious search for my first new car (and the last one until 1994). I decided on a white 1971 Dodge Charger with a light brown vinyl roof($3700). They were fine looking cars, and it lasted me well over 100,000 miles. In about '80 the engine gave out and I sold it to a wrecking company for $50.

When I decided to finally get me a classic car last summer, guess what I chose? Nope, not a Dodge Charger! I now own a '55 Ford! All I need now is a deer lease!
